Only 4 more days left until Halloween, so I have another Halloween recipe to post. I saw these cute little Halloween Ghost Peep S'mores posted on Pinterest a couple months back. As soon as I saw them that I had to make them for my kids.

I was thinking these would make a cute addition to the Halloween Treats that I'm putting together for my children's close friends in the neighborhood. Since we will be out trick or treating we will not be giving out candy, so I want to make sure to have a few fun treat bags for our close neighbor kids before we head out.

I also plan on baking two different types of cookies and adding some candy as well. I think everyone will love these spooky little s'more treat bags. This is a cute idea for family parties, close friends, girl scouts or cub scout parties. These s'mores literally cost me next to nothing to make.

The box of graham crackers were under $2, ghost peeps were .98 a package, and the small Hershey bars were $1 for a package of 8. All in all it cost me under $4 to make enough for 8 kiddos.

I got the idea for the bag tags from Southern Plate. I just adapted them into a Halloween theme. I have included a link for a printable version of the Halloween Smore Tags. You will need two tags per package. One for the front and one for the back. Walmart sells the neat little clear cellophane party bags which are perfect for the s'mores.

If you are unable to find them you can use a zip lock sandwich bags instead. Just fold over the zip part so it was under the tag. Staple the tags together and you're done. If you don't want to mess with the tags you can always just tie some Halloween ribbon around the gift sacks punch a hole in the tag and run the ribbon through.

Of course we had to try a few out to make sure they were edible LOL. We did find out one thing...... S'mores always taste better when bunny ears are involved.

Halloween Ghost Peep S'moresIngredients: 16 - graham cracker squares8 - pumpkin or ghost pumpkin peeps8 - small Hershey chocolate bars8 - clear gift sacks or ziplock bags Halloween or festive ribbon8 - printable tagsDirections: Add one halloween peep, two graham cracker squares and one Hershey bar package to each gift sack. Attach s'mores tag with directions and staple shut.
To melt the s'mores: Place a marshmallow peep on a graham cracker. Microwave on medium or use the reheat setting for 5 - 10 seconds. Top with chocolate and another graham cracker. Cool and enjoy. Be careful as the softened peep will be hot.

We've done 'smeeps' before around Easter time and my kids have tried and tried to make the peeps explode. Never happens, but it sure is fun to microwave them. I think it would be even more fun to watch the ghosts - haven't seen them anywhere though.

Oh my word! This is an absolutely adorable idea! You have the best! Please be sure to check out my post today - I shared several pix and links to your delightful Halloween ideas. Thanks a million for sharing.

I"m normally a blog lurker, but these just *made* me come out of hiding! This is quite possibly *the* cutest Halloween idea I have seen all season! Love Love Love these! Now on the menu for tomorrow nights Halloween bash! woo hoo! and TY! =0)

I'm just passing by and thought id say hello. We will be receiving some snow this weekend in Pennsylvania, and the leaves are just about at their peek colors. I hope everyone has a very nice weekend. Richard from Amish Stories.

We did this but with regular marshmallows for Nurse appreciation week at the hospital and on the tag I put " we need S'more nurses like you " they loved them . I am going to have to make these for my little kids at work

Made these today as thank you gifts for the rehab staff where my husband was cared for after his heart attack. Tag: There is s'more I want to say, but I'll leave it at "Thank boo!" Used six different Halloween clip art pix, made a long tag, orange ribbon. 10 seconds was enough time in our microwave. Thank BOO for a great idea.

These are adorable! What a cute idea for the kids I know! (The rest can dive into a bag of Costco candy! LOL We get 300+ kids on Halloween, it's an expensive night.) I'm headed shopping tomorrow, I may have to grab some of these ghosties. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting this wonderful idea. Never did find the ghost peeps (waited too long), but Kraft puts out small marshmellow ghosts that did the job in a pinch. This idea got 4 thumbs up from my grandchildren. Am handing them out for Halloween and stamping our name and address on the back so parents don't throw them out. Thank you again...just love them.

You are a complete GENIUS! This is the cutest idea ever. My teen daughter's friends have been begging for desserts coming to school with my daughter for them (I too have a food blog). These are the perfect, unexpected treat to send to school. My project for tonight. I shared a link to your post on my FB page too.

I'm so making the goody bags. If you go to the Peep website, click on Store Locator and it tells you exactly where you can buy the ghost peeps in your area. Worked like a charm ;) thanks for this idea!
